Frequency of watering

In necessarily should take into account a number of factors, unlike other colors moisturizing senpolii:

– lighting

In spring and summer watering is carried out more frequently than in the autumn and winter. This is due to the difference in the length of daylight and the appropriate amount of light.

Morning watering is suitable for summer and spring, the morning and afternoon - for the winter and autumn.

– air humidity

At high humidity should limit watering. It is especially important to consider this factor in the fall, when the illumination decreases, and the humidity (up to the moment of inclusion of heating) increases.

– air temperature

At high temperatures recommended more abundant watering than at low and medium.

– while strengthening the root system

If the root system is not yet sufficiently developed after transplantation, it is recommended to minimize watering.

– florescence

In the active phase of the flowering period requires more water than at rest.

– the nature of the substrate

Loose and light soil dries harder.

– pot material

irrigation Methods

Experienced growers categorically do not recommend watering violet top as many other colors.

This is due to the fact that when water gets on the leaves begin to rapidly decay. For this reason, it is impossible to spray Saintpaulia.

1. Using a syringe

The syringe typed hot water, which is then carefully injected into the soil.

The procedure should be repeated as long as the excess water will not hold together in a pan.

2. "Wick"

Made "wick" - cut the cord length of 20 cm or fabric that folds harness.

One end is attached to the lower opening of the pot, and the other - is lowered into a container of water, which is placed on the cover flower itself.

3. through pallet

The tray is filled with warm water to a quarter of the height of the soil. After the substrate has darkened, excess water must be drained.

The second method is considered to be the most optimal for violets, as there is a uniform moisture.

But it is important to consider that low-temperature air becomes cold water, and this is undesirable for Saintpaulia.
